If the young guys keep truckin along, he&#39;ll be gone after next season. Adams is going to have to stay healthy also for that to happen.

The only thing I really blame LaRussa for is the 2nd game he sent Ankiel out there. Rick blew up in the NLDS, but that could have been chalked up to a bad outing. When he blew up in the NLCS, he shouldn&#39;t have been trotted out for a third game.

They still had Cruz under their thumb and he speaks Spanish which I think played a major part. They even traded Cruz for another Spanish-speaking catcher which further leads me to reason that is the underlying factor in Anderson&#39;s quick departure and Cruz&#39;s longevity with the club. On the topic of in-person autographs, my first in-person autograph that I didn&#39;t have to pay for was Stan Royer. I got it in Olney, Illinois. Stan and Shannon Coppel were signing at a card show held at OCC. They both signed a ball and Stan signed his 89 Bowman card. He was in the A&#39;s organization at the time, but man was I excited when the Cardinals got him.Marc Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736613757369673136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054335502175522499.post-3378570778228519342016-02-08T11:03:48.257-08:002016-02-08T11:03:48.257-08:00I wish the Cardinals would have given him more of ...I wish the Cardinals would have given him more of a chance instead of Tony Cruz.
